O.Z.Split Rim Alloys - V8S

[moose]

A long shot can anyone advise me where I can get my alloys refurbished please ?

Additionally if the new owner of the V8S recently sold on this site - the 2nd place car at Back Home this yr with the 2 O.Z. alloys that are spares - please contact me or if anyone knows he/her please would you pass the message on - thanks for your help

I use Lepsoms at Gillingham. They have refinished 6 wheels for my S1.5 (S1 wheels). They have all been very well done and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I have a friend with a 400se with 3 piece OZ wheels and I think they quoted him around £50-60 a wheel. They are dearer because of having to breakdown the wheel etc.

I don't know whether the tool for dismantling the wheels is the same shape for the V8S wheels as it is for the Wedge wheels, if it is Lepsoms do not have one and you will need to get the wheels brokendown and reassembled elsewhere.

I think someone said Tower View have the correct tool.

Cheers
